CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Trap,” the latest movie from the suspenseful filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, and featuring his musician daughter Saleka in a Taylor Swift-like role as a popular singer. In theaters now, since August 2nd.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

The story involves a Dad named Cooper (Josh Harnett) and his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) attending Riley’s dream concert, that of singer Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan). A noticeably larger police presence arouses suspicion in Cooper, who is a fire fighter, and he pokes around to find out that the concert has become an elaborate ruse to trap a serial killer named The Butcher … the FBI has even brought in the top profiler in the world, the British psychologist Josephine Grant (Hayley Mills).

”Trap” is currently in theaters, since August 2nd. Featuring Josh Harnett, Ariel Donoghue, Saleka Shyamalan, Hayley Mills and Alison Pill. Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Rated “PG-13”
